Product Details:

Lewisia Oppositifolia Seeds are perfect for gardeners looking to add a touch of uniqueness to their landscape. This perennial plant grows to a mature height of 4 to 6 inches, featuring stunning, star-shaped blooms that range in color from white to pink. With its preference for full sun and well-drained, gritty soil, it thrives in rock gardens, alpine settings, and containers.

Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Lewisia seeds benefit from stratification to break dormancy. Place the seeds in a plastic bag with moistened peat moss or sand and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before planting.

Sowing:

Sow the stratified seeds in early spring or late summer. Press the seeds gently onto the soil surface or lightly cover with a thin layer of fine grit.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually occurs within 3-4 weeks if kept at a temperature around 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into their permanent location.

Space plants 6-8 inches apart in well-drained, sandy or gritty soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, to maintain even moisture levels.

Avoid overwatering, as Lewisia is susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions.

Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Happy Gardening!
